Here is my interpretation of the lost spider pit. This model was created from a variety of materials, I used the films original concept art and film stills to piece together the anatomy of the scene. I also looked into the original notes in the script to gain an insight into the finer details.
The models plan is laid out on foam-board.
The cliff sides are crafted from polystyrene, I also added some smaller stones to give the diorama more weight and realism.
Side angle of the cliff-face.
The model is coated in a layer of sand and light ballast for texture.
The model is under-coated black, dry brushed grey, and given several washes of brown paint.
The model with gravel, lichen and sand. Also added is the small muddy pool, from which a tentacled beast snatches a sailor in the text.
The log bridge is added, fallen at the foot of the ravine, some extra foliage. Finally cotton wool has been spread thin around the caves to represent spiders webbing.

Close up angle of caves, the reeds were made of brush bristles. these angle shots helped me to decide to angles of my drawings and compositions.
